The Inspiration of Philosophy of the Body for Current Art Education

The philosophy of the body emphasizes the subjectivity of the body and affirms its role in the process of acquiring knowledge. There is an interactive relationship between the body and culture, which shapes our identity and meaning, and the body has logical priority in the entire process of cognition. There is a close and complex relationship between art and the body, and this close association provides many beneficial insights for our current art education. In the process of art education, we should not only fully tap the subjectivity of the body, but also guide students to be aware of the influence of the body on artistic works. Based on the interactive relationship between the body and culture, we should provide diverse ways of artistic expression to enhance body awareness and self-identity in art education. Based on the philosophy of the body's mutual relationship between body and mind, we should play the role of art education in psychotherapy to promote the physical and mental health development of learners.
